Read Luke 2:1-7

At that time the Emperor Augustus ordered
a census to be taken throughout the Roman Empire. 2When this first
census took place, Quirinius was the governor of Syria. 3Everyone,
then, went to register himself, each to his own town.

4 Joseph went from the town of
Nazareth in Galilee to the town of Bethlehem in Judea, the birthplace of King
David. Joseph went there because he was a descendant of David. 5He
went to register with Mary, who was promised in marriage to him. She was
pregnant, 6and while they were in Bethlehem, the time came for her
to have her baby. 7She gave birth to her first son, wrapped him in
strips of cloth and laid him in a manger—there was no room for them to stay in
the inn.
